Its a good hotel, but I would say it was more a three star hotel than a four star hotel. Rooms weren't very big, and the beds were a bit uncomfortable.

I've stayed for 3 nights in this hotel and I was satisfied because, the staff was nice and the rooms were very clean. The bathroom is very big I was suprised with the size.
The beds are very good.
About the city I don't recomended to be there to many days, because it is small and you can see everthing in 2 days.If you travel by car then I would recomend to stay in Mérida for 4 days and go to Cáceres and Badajoz in diferent days.

Arriving without reservation we were welcomed by a friendly, readily dispensing information about Merida sights, trilingual receptionist who surprised us with a 60Euro rate for the room plus 7Euro for on-site, secure parking. Curbside parking is an option. The Roman Amphitheater and major Roman sites, incl. the museum of Roman artifacts are but a short two blocks walk away.

We were assigned a quiet, non-smoking standard room, somewhat on the smallish side for a 4-star hotel. It came with a queen size bed, stocked mini-bar, desk, TV with some English channels, and A/C that stayed on during the night. Were it not for banging doors up and down the hallway, double pane windows and the carpeted floor would make for a quiet room. The carpet appeared well past the due date for a shampoo. What we found offensive in our room was a penetrating odor as if mother were cooking cabbage down below. The large, tiled floor to ceiling bath room with modern fixtures, tub with shower curtain, and the obligatory bidet was clean and stocked with adequate towels and toiletries.

The hotel deserved a star for the delicious food served in the restaurant. We chose the price fixe menu of the day which included a bottle of regional wine, all at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast was equally satisfactory. All in all, while not perfect in every regard, the Hotel Velada Merida fit the bill for a one night stopover.

I took the tripadvisor review advice and rang hotel for best rate by 25%
good hotel nice rooms for price 70€
Average pool size with surprisingly large garden for central location.
Friendly efficient staff.
Car par 9€/day, OK but i hate paying tp park.
Taxi back from centre of town 5€ but only a short 10min walk
definately stay there again, not luxury but clean affordable and gets the job done.
